August 16, 20187 yr What a pain the new listings of organizations is, I'm on the road again for a spell and the extra effort to see what might be new on NEBs. Judson are they mailing anything I'm without a printer out here.
August 21, 20187 yr Author Online registration now available. http://www.newenglandblacksmiths.org/meet-registration/ AND I just got my paper flier in the mail today. If that's how you roll, check your mailbox.
August 21, 20187 yr We sure did have a debate about postage costs and registration costs last meet, eh? Felt like I was part of the D.C. swamp just being in the room see ya there!
August 24, 20187 yr Send in my Registration yesterday and made motel reservations today. Too old to camp or sleep in the truck these days.
August 25, 20187 yr Author Nice! Going to play in the forging contest? Prizes will be some of my tongs!
September 6, 20187 yr Hard to believe it's hear all ready.. Just a few more days and it will be "Show time".. I'm heading over after work friday.. Figure I should get there about 2pm..
September 8, 20187 yr It is Show time, Green Coal Tent up and running mid Fri, Registration underway, super Pot Luck Supper last night and a great slide Show by Mark till about 9PM. The Main "Mark Show" starts in the Main Ring at 9am today. Still a chance if you live nearby to get there.
September 9, 20187 yr Reported to be 148 people at the NEB's Fall Meet, said to be the largest ever. Mark Aspery Doing fabulous Job Demonstrating with humor thrown in. Had a huge Iron in the Hat last evening after a great Pig Roast dinner. Worth attending this event just in the eats. Demos this AM 9-12.
September 9, 20187 yr Hey Dale, you didn’t win an N.E.B casting this year. The stars must be out of alignment. I won nothing as usual. The spring I got two years ago was an aberration.... It was a fun time. Mark was a great presenter and it sure was packed in there. His kind words about our membership and his help with the 2020 ABANA meet were a nice touch.
September 9, 20187 yr Was a great event.. Sadly won't be here today.. Busy 2 days with tons of questions and forging great stuff.. Mark Aspery was a great demonstrator offering excellent professor level information for all involved from beginner to pro. Great meet.. Can't wait for the next 1.. here is a picture of the Steeled hardie (1018 mild with 5160 steel cutting face, started as 1"sq).. Started at the spring meet on 3 different anvils and completed yesterday on yet another.. I'll refine it a little more and take out the shank blem from the different anvils..
September 10, 20187 yr I had a great time at the meet! Mark Aspery is an amazing demostator! It was a lot of fun.

Stars were not completely lines up BUT Dale Martin won it so almost got it right, plus I've got everything already. Mark did do a fine job and he certainly tuned me up to attend the ABANA 2020 meet if possible. It was a great time the Morrell's do an outstanding job never miss one there. Have a good winter see you on the cape in the spring.
September 12, 20187 yr A few Pictures from the 2018 Fall Meet in Colrain Mass. Inside the Shop with hardly a seat left Mar Asprey Demoing everyone listening closely Green Coal Tent
